MHA: Living as a Mineta is hard

While he was surprised that the worst one would be expelled, he knew that he wouldn't be the one expelled.

How did he know?

Because he was naturally the best among them. 

Still, he was being low-key and wouldn't show off about it.

"Hey, your Quirk is crazy!" Sero was amazed but sighed helplessly.

"For a moment, I saw the underworld." Tokoyami's tone was serious as if he had seen the underworld for a moment.

"I knew that you were strong, but haven't you gotten stronger from before?"

When Jiro thought about the entrance exam, she had to say that his mastery over his "Quirk" was amazing.

"Jiro-san, I heard it before but did you meet Mineta-san during the entrance exam?" Momo was curious.

"You guys..." Mineta was speechless and asked curiously, "Don't you feel nervous that you might get expelled?"

"No." 4x

Unexpectedly, their answer was uniform, and they were confident in themselves. While it was hard for them to become the best, they knew it should be easy for them not to become the worst on these physical tests.

"Well, it's good that you're confident. I hate to say goodbye to someone that I just know."

Jiro rolled her eyes and said, "You're the most confident among us here, alright?"

"My "Quirk" just happens to be suitable for this type of activity, but if we're talking about reconnaissance, your "Quirk" is better than me, right?"

While they didn't say what their "Quirk" could do during their previous conversation, he had seen how Jiro could find many robots with her "Quirk" during the entrance exam. While he wasn't sure about the detail, part of her "Quirk" should allow her to have a good hearing.

Jiro was embarrassed and asked, "How did you know?" She wondered whether he had been watching her from the entrance exam.

"We were from the same district on the entrance exam, alright? I observed many candidates that might become my classmates. You're one of them."

"Oh..." Jiro wasn't sure why, but she felt a slight loss.

"Did you do that during the entrance exam?" Momo was surprised since Mineta had such a time during the entrance exam.

"It's just part of my hobby," Mineta answered Momo's question before he said, "Anyway, we are chosen from thousands of candidates, so naturally, we have something that is better than them. This is only the first step. Don't stumble, alright?"

While he felt he had said something cool, he felt that the path to getting a stable income was thorny.

He even thought of the possibility of other schools than Yuuei since there was no need to be in Yuuei if one wanted to become a hero, right?

However, he knew that, unlike Yuuei, the other school didn't have girls who could trigger his system.

Well, they didn't deny those schools might have a possibility to have a girl who could trigger his system, but Yuuei should have more, so even if he was helpless, he had to stay.

"Damn, if you say that, I can't help but work harder on this physical test." Sero laughed and wrapped his hand around Mineta's shoulder.

"Those words rang in my heart..." Tokoyami folded his arms as he closed his eyes, facing the blue sky, trying to reminiscence his words.

Momo wanted to say something, but in the end, she smiled since she knew this was for the best, so everyone could work harder. Still, she also wasn't going to lose!

While the relationship between the five became closer, the rest was still awkward and thought about the physical tests seriously.

On the other hand, Aizawa watched over the five of them quietly, but he didn't scold them for talking. Instead, he showed a light smile and said, "Come on! Hurry up and be prepared! Don't waste my time!"

Everyone started to prepare to take the tests.

Even if they were nervous, scared, or something else, no one could help them, and they had to do their best on this physical test.

However, what they didn't know, there were two teachers who observed them.

One of them was naturally the bear-like mouse since he was curious about one person, and he must admit that person didn't disappoint him.

The other one was a muscular guy with a rabbit-ear-like hairstyle, watching the group of students nervously. No, his eyes had been watching only one of them like a doting mother who couldn't let go of her child.

The bear-like mouse aside, Mineta noticed the muscular guy who peeked at them from a distance. He couldn't help but frown, feeling weird when he saw this person.

'All-Might?'

With his eyes, it was impossible for him to miss such a conspicuous guy.

Who did he look for?

He followed the direction where All-Might was looking and saw an ordinary frizzy-haired boy.

'Hmmm?'

Frankly, he saw nothing from this boy and wasn't sure what was special about him.

"Is there something wrong, Mineta-san?"

"...Don't startle me like that."

Mineta was speechless by Momo, who suddenly appeared at his side. Frankly, while he was greedy for the rewards, he wasn't in a hurry to do anything. After all, it was only the first day they were at the high school, so there was no need to be in a hurry.

Slow and steady, yet struck quickly when there was an opportunity that had always been his way to hunt.

"I am sorry." Momo was quite embarrassed since she had startled him, but she saw him looking at something, which made her curious.

Yet how could he not be curious since the number one hero showed interest in someone inside his class?

However, it was better to keep quiet about this matter, and he didn't have much interest in it.

After all, it might be related to their secret.

If he knew their secret without any trouble, it was okay. However, if knowing their secret would lead to a troublesome situation, it was better to ignore it since his purpose in this place was clear.

"Nothing." Mineta shook his head and asked, "Now that you mention it, what is your "Quirk," Yaoyorozu-san?"

"Oh, my Quirk is..."

Along with their conversation, the physical test also started.

There were several tests, from the 50-meter dash, grip strength, standing long jump, repeated side steps, ball throw, distance run, seated toe-touch, and sit-ups.

Mineta finished his ball throw and was ready for the next one, which was the 50-meter dash.

Frankly, this speed type of test was something that he excelled at.

Leaving Tenya Ida, who only needed 3 seconds to finish the 50-meter dash.

Mineta also showed his worth on this test too.

Like in his entrance exam, he made a spring under his feet and compressed all the force inside his body.

While his "Squeezing Manipulation" could help him in this situation, he didn't want to attract much attention.

His motto had always been to become the best, but he didn't meant to become the number one.

It meant if he could be low-key, he would do that since being the center of attention had always been a problem.

Because this test was done by two people and based on the seating arrangement, his partner was Momo.

While Mineta had asked Momo before, he must admit he was speechless by Momo's Quirk, considering she was able to materialize anything as long as it wasn't a living being, so in this test, she created a roller blade and jetpack.

"....." Mineta.

"...You sure go all out."

"It's natural since I have to become the best," Momo said firmly while staring at the finish line.

"Hmm..." Mineta stared at Momo for a moment before he looked away.

Aizawa looked at the two of them since they were the last who did the test. While he was at a loss for words by what Momo did, he thought Mineta was going to do what he was doing at the entrance exam.

Everyone also looked over, especially when Aizawa told them to start over.

When Momo started her jet-pack, she burst out at the fastest speed instantly.

Mineta wasn't going to lose since he released all the compressed energy on his spring and dashed instantly at the finish line.

Iida might have a "Quirk," which helped him to run faster, and he might be the fastest among all the students in this class.

However, if they compared the trick, creativity, and burst speed, Momo and Mineta were better than him.

Still, Momo made the wrong choice since she almost couldn't stop her because of her speed!

However, she remained calm and stopped her jet pack.

Unfortunately, she couldn't stop the rollerblade, and she kept moving toward the wall in the distance.

"He-Hey, watch out!"

"Sensei, she is in danger!"

Aizawa held his scarf and wanted to stop Momo, but Momo's speed was too fast!

Fortunately, Mineta was faster and finished the dash instantly, so he reacted and caught Momo before she hit the wall before he directly created a large cushion with his "Quirk" and jumped into them while hugging Momo in his arms.

*Boing!*

The bouncing cushion made from his "Quirk" safely saved the two of them.

"I-I'm sorry, Mineta-san..."

Momo apologized and quickly lost her calm when he saw Mineta's bleeding nose. "Wa-Wait, you're hurt!"

"I am alright," Mineta said and wiped his nosebleed calmly.

While the development of his "Quirk" was amazing, the development of Momo's growth was even more impressive, right?
